A method for controlling inflow including metering a specific volume of actuation fluid, injecting that metered volume of fluid into a control line, and causing a valve to reposition to a specific position due to the metered volume of fluid injected thereto. A borehole system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a valve system operatively connected to the borehole.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the fields of chemistry and medicine, more particularly to processes for making 4-(2-chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-N-[(1S)-2-cyclopropyl-1-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)ethyl]-5-methyl-N-prop-2-ynyl-1,3-thi-azol-2-amine (Compound 1), pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and crystalline forms thereof, for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

Abstract: A detachable rib for use in a mixing bowl that provides an obstacle for ingredients being driven around the inside of a mixing bowl. The rib comprises a blade configured to extend in an axial direction along an inner surface of the mixing bowl; and an attachment formation for engaging with a corresponding formation of the mixing bowl, the engagement securing the rib against circumferential movement in at least one rotational direction; such that in use the blade interrupts a path of food being driven around the mixing bowl.

Abstract: A bacon analogue or a reconstructed bacon product having a first component with about 42% lean meat, such as a lean pork muscle and about 58% fat and a second component with at least about 85% lean meat, such as a lean pork muscle is provided. The bacon analogue may have a ratio of first to second components of between about 35:65 to about 65:35 and a total fat percentage of about 28% to about 48%. In another configuration, the ratio of first to second components is about 25:75 to about 75:25. In one approach, the bacon analogue is free from alginate binders and free of emulsified meat. In one configuration, the first and the second components are ground to a size of about 0.125-inch to 0.5-inch. After the first and second components are separately mixed and cured, the components are pumped together into a marbled slab having an appearance similar to a pork-belly, which may then be sliced.

Abstract: A food processing apparatus comprises a container for food to be processed, the container having a removable cover arranged to engage with the container, and a tool drive for a processing tool, wherein the apparatus is arranged to operate in a first processing mode when the cover is engaged with the container, and is arranged to operate in a second processing mode when the cover is not engaged with the container, in which in the second processing mode, use of the tool drive for processing is restricted with respect to the first processing mode. Thus the apparatus can operate in a ‘safe’ mode when the lid is not engaged.

Abstract: A method for adjusting measurement parameters of an odometry unit of a rail vehicle includes acquiring sensor data from the interior and/or the surroundings of the rail vehicle with the aid of at least one sensor unit that includes an internal image-recording unit. Weather data are determined on the basis of the acquired sensor data. Lastly, fusion weightings for the fusion of odometric data that have been determined on the basis of odometric sensor data from different types of odometric sensors are defined depending on the determined weather data. An adjustment device and a rail vehicle are additionally provided.
